The Faith That Wins

DAILY VITAMIN
- The Faith That Wins
"...Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him" (Heb 11:6 TLB)
    We have come to the end of the year, but as we also know the end of a thing is always the beginning of something new. To some, it will be so great; to others, it might be not so good. But the concern here is how can we make it great for ourselves and those around us. The Bible says that by faith, Sarah who was hopeless as it regarded childbirth gave birth to a new nation for Abraham (Heb 11:11-12).
     In the same way, it may not look like anything good can come out of your situation; however God is saying that if you will trust Him and believe Him, something great will happen. Remember what Jesus said to the sick boy's father, "If you will believe, all things become possible for you" (Mark 9:23).
    Now is the time to risk it all in faith. Don't be conservative in trusting God. Don't play it safe. Don't give conditions for what God can do. Believe Him recklessly.
    Recall, God is never judged by our limitations, because He has none. God asks "Is there anything too hard for Me?", but only your answer to that can determine how it will reflect in your own life. You may not look like it, or be qualified for it, but you have to keep the faith. Keep trusting Him to do all He has promised to do. That is what moves Him, and your life's level as well- your faith; for what we are and can be is solely a product of our faith. "For the just shall live by his faith" (Hab 2:4).
    Hence, end this year believing, and begin the next trusting that all will be as have been promised. Remember, there is only one way to move the mountain of adversity in your life, and that is by faith. "And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him." (Mark 11:22-23).
    Thus, believe your way into your change of story experience today; for in you is the faith that always wins. Hold God to His Word, and it surely come to be, as long as the faith is kept. "These people all trusted God and as a result won battles, overthrew kingdoms, ruled their people well, and received what God had promised them..." (Heb 11:33 TLB). That can be your story too!

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank you because I know you always hear me when I call. I believe your word is already a reality in my life. I am walking in its manifestation daily, and by it I shall live a victorious life always, in Jesus' Name. Amen

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to

Desist From Rash Decisions

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived

Actions Speak Loudest

  DAILY VITAMIN - Actions Speak Loudest “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16 TLB) It was 4:30 p.m., sometime in late January 2015. The students were crowded en masse for Laboratory Practice registrations. Everybody was there; the sleek guys and girls, and the geeks as well. And also there was myself, and my very good friend Earnest. We were both members of the Christian Community on campus; but Earnest was the more vocal kind. Well, on this day, the hall was replete with students and the process slow, but eventually it got to our turn. The Registration Officer (R.O) requested for the required fee and documentation and thus signed me up; however when it was Earnest’s time to get registered, he failed to ask for the fee. Anyway, when we were both done with the process and on our way back home, Earnest softly indicated that we stop for a moment. As we stood there under the canop
